Fahr Industries is a forward thinking company with an eye for design and a passion for the play industry

How it all started

Fahr Industries Ltd was started in 2001 by Andy Hoddle and Russell Funnell, and this is where the name "Fahr" came from - Funnell, Andy, Hoddle, Russell.

When the Fahr venture started they had a 40ft container of HDPE sheet on the way from the USA, their first CNC machine also on the way from the USA and they had just exhibited at their first FSB exhibition in Cologne, Germany, all before they even had a factory or workshop to put them in or start production! Needless to say they were both exciting and chaotic months at the start of the business venture for Russell and Andy.

Both Andy and Russell had worked within the play industry for a number of years prior to this, and had spotted the opportunity to supply HDPE panels and components to companies within the play industry, providing high quality products with a good service and at a reasonable price.

Having spent a very happy year in Australia the year before starting up Fahr, Andy and his family loved the place so much that they decided to emigrate to Australia late in 2003, leaving Russell and his wife Katrina to completely take over the company. Andy wanted to make a completely clean break and has since started another very successful play company in Australia called Kaebel Leisure manufacturing playground equipment products and components for the Australian market.

What Fahr does

Fahr design and manufacture products and components, mostly from plastics, exclusively for trade companies all over the World. They are specialist in products and components for the playground industry, but have involvements in many other industries that have a requirement for machined plastic parts.

We have 3 CNC machines with the capacity to turn around work less than 7-10 days if necessary.

We offer the service to work closely with our customer's designers and we are always creating unique and bespoke products for our customers so they can stand out amongst their competitors.

We also have a wide range of standard OEM products for our customers to use and modify to speed up their design process and keep costs down.

We supply to trade customers only, giving you the added security that we will not be approaching your customers or passing any of your bespoke designs on to other companies either.
